In previous OS News articles, I described how mature computers
up to ten years old can be
refurbished and made useful. One
article identified and evaluated different approaches to
refurbishing. This article tells how to performance tune a mature
Windows computer to make it serviceable again. I hope it will interest
anyone who wants to tune Windows.

I always change this setting since I read somewhere that windows xp at least only uses 512kb max which means most of my 6MB would be unused, is this still true? Maybe it would be worth a mention since some older cpus could still easily have 1 or 2MB.
